Here’s what you told us
No! Definitely not
Kind and approachable case workers still have no impact in a system that is designed not to meet need + not to respect the voices of the young person or their parent
Young Carers are widely ignored by the education system.
Too complex for mainstream support but doesn’t meet the threshold for other things like therapy through camhs
no I don’t think they get the fact that all of the services that need to work together…are STILL separate.
